Café Men at Work in Wijk 02 Almere Stad

During the day it offers a small menu, and in the evening (especially on weekends) it is frequented by a changing "fairly young crowd".

I went there for lunch. The service was really not okay. The waitress was not friendly at all, barely spoke, and looked incredibly grumpy. After all, you have to rely largely on your staff. Service with a Smile is so important. The food was very mediocre. The carpaccio sandwich had flavor only from the truffle mayo. The small roll was the smallest roll I have ever seen. The omelet was supposed to have its yolks cooked through; I specifically asked for that. When the roll arrived, the yolks were not cooked through. The roll was taken to one of the other establishments, and the omelet was visibly put in the microwave to finish cooking the yolks. What a shame, what a shame, what a waste. For me, it is not worth going there again.

They charged me 26 euros for a gym tonic, I paid with my card on the terrace – a rip-off!

The girl on staff didn't seem to really like her job; she didn't even smile. The carpaccio sandwich was super small, really a mini baguette.

The food is prepared by another restaurant, and no extra plates are provided even if you ask for them. The staff were also unfriendly.

These waiters forget they are nothing but waiters

Really a lousy place.. Ordered pasta with salmon. After waiting 20 minutes, they came to tell us they didn't have it. Next, ordered chicken satay. Waited 50 minutes for this. Got a drink on the house, which was nice. Eventually, the kitchen next door brought out a different dish because they didn't have chicken satay either.. They still tried to push these dishes on us, and then we decided to leave. One of the staff members washed her hands of it and shouted that it was the fault of the cook in the kitchen next door because he hadn't passed on which dishes couldn't be made. In short, they take no responsibility for this. I'm definitely not coming here again.

They must be at work somewhere else. Many people left because noone served them

Too bad, after waiting 40 minutes, we asked where our food was. We asked again after 25 minutes. We didn't receive a simple sandwich. We lost the receipt, so we left. We still had to pay for our drinks. They don't have their own kitchen, but rely on a neighbor, who was too busy to handle our food.

Bingo with ridiculously cheap prizes. The four of us were sitting at the bar. A round of snacks wasn't an option, and we were constantly getting leftovers last. A scam for that kind of money. Worthless place. Paid a total of €110 and a stool. At the bar... everything was paid in cash (tickets). So, under the table 😡. (I'm posting this review through my husband's account.) Sheilla

We spontaneously popped in for lunch. The atmosphere isn't great. It's really a cafe and a lunchroom. The staff was friendly, even after we pointed out that the meatballs were a bit cold. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Nice and tender and flavorful. For the price of €9.50, it was a winner! An inexpensive lunch, definitely recommended.

We arrived at 5 p.m. initially. We waited an hour for our food, and the staff hesitated to serve us, even though there were three occupied tables. Later, we arrived at 11 p.m. for a scheduled event on September 27, 2025. We were enjoying the culture inside, just like everyone else. Then we went outside for a cigarette, and our coats were gone! It turned out the staff had taken them to the coat check without asking, and we were charged over €10. The coat check attendant was rude and claimed it was her country. I replied that I live here too and pay taxes just like her, so we're no different. It was my only day off in months, which this restaurant ruined. When she replied that she wanted a coat check, the woman tore up our coat numbers and threw them in the trash. I RECOMMEND AGAINST IT, AND I RECOMMEND YOUNG PEOPLE AGAINST HAVING FUN ON A FREE WEEKEND!!!!!!

They were respectful and charged my phone.

What a mess. Poor service. Food served cold because it was busy. Only three people were sitting on the patio!

The food was bland, and only one dish arrived, and they said the other would arrive later. Then, half an hour later, we were told the order hadn't gone through. And only one of us was able to eat.

The food was really good and high quality. The staff were nice and helpful, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I enjoyed my time there.

It's fun to attend the parties of time out disco

Ambiguous regarding entrance payments. My friend paid 10 euros, I had to pay 15 euros and another friend had to pay 5 euros. A bit special.

I come here with my girlfriend. Always plays good music and the staff is friendly.

No entrance fee, but they will hang up anything they can take from your bag, such as a raincoat, so you have to pay more

We went to the cafe men at work Friday to lunch. Staff was really really nice with us and the food we ordered were really good (carpaccio salad and Burguer). Not so many people so really chill ambient. We really recommend this place, we think they should have more rate but I don't know during evening or when it's now crowded how it is. Thanks for everything!

Scammers. Entrance price is different for everyone

Went there for enjoy the night and listen to some music

Food does not come from their kitchen itself. We did not know this, after 20 minutes we asked where our sandwiches were. She explained that it must have come from a different kitchen and that we had to wait 45 minutes to an hour for our sandwich and sandwich. Explained that unfortunately we no longer had that time due to an appointment. Asked if we could cancel the order because it wouldn't happen for a while anyway. Unfortunately that was not possible. Finally left after 45 minutes, food was not yet available, and... so we lost our money!!!! Scandalous and rip off. I really guess no one recommends eating or drinking here. UPDATE: thank you owner for posting a comment under my review that I only paid for the drink. Then you want to claim that 2 cokes cost euro 21.85?? Then I certainly wouldn't drink here. I find this response outrageous.

From harassment from the bouncers to extortion of money. They claim as a rule that everyone is obligated to put their jacket in the wardrobe room(paid)it is unacceptable that an establishment has this kind of rule, it is a felony called extortion. Unfriendly bouncers harassed me for not speaking dutch, unacceptable. Bartenders are nice tho just working in the wrong place. Editing to respond to the establishment's comment: my jacket as well as my friends were dressed and never left our bodies, and the bouncer insisted that we deposit them in the wardrobe room even though I claimed I was cold and would rather keep wearing the jacket

We were there in the afternoon, had a leisurely beer and a snack. The service was very attentive and we never had to wait long. The sofa outside was very comfortable. We were very satisfied

Bad service, bar staff too aggressive

'Nice place in the center of Almere... Friendly service, large heated terrace....

1,5h aufs essen gewartet, Kunden Kommunikation kaum vorhanden. Bestellung war am Ende nicht in der Küche angekommen, wurde aber erst beim 2. mal Nachfragen mitgeteilt.

Even lekker op de Grote Markt gezeten in Almere Centrum bij Men at Work. Prima groot terras met aangename zitjes. Lekker genoten van het zonnetje. Bediening is prima, natcho's en kip chunks waren lekker. Rosé vond ik zelf iets te zuur. Maar prima voor 1 of 2 glaasjes.

Op zich prima op het terras gezeten. Ik kom hier alleen niet meer terug. Als je een bittergarnituur a € 13.75, 13 stuks (waarom oneven aantal) besteld verwacht je hier ook saus bij. Portie werd geleverd met mayo en zoetzure saus. Bij het afrekenen presteert deze toko het om extra te rekenen voor de sausjes. Dit is geldklopperij en werd niet vermeld op de kaart. En dan klaagt de horeca dat ze t zo moeilijk hebben en er zaken omvallen? Ze maken het zichzelf onmogelijk zo. Het is al duur genoeg dat we na 1 drankje het al voor gezien houden. Ga zo door.

Open until late each night and especially at weekends when it's open until 5am! Dutch rap bar of an evening with free entry although you may be charged a minimal fee to use the toilets as with most places in the tourist areas of The Netherlands 🇳🇱

Gezellig met bevrijdingsfestival

Goed geholpen. Altijd vriendelijk personeel.

Burger was om te janken! Leuke tent maar niet om uit eten te gaan!!

Altijd gezellig, soms een gekkenhuis, maar dat hoort erbij!

Super plek en klantvriendelijk personeel….thanks to Donny. Lekker terras in de zon op chille banken.

Locatie van de maandelijkse disco Time Out voor mensen met een beperking

Als je graag dronken 15 jarigen wilt zien dan zou ik zeker hier een keer uitgaan

Gezellige club met goede dj's. Elke week is het weer een feestje. Mooie thema feesten met goede dj's en artiesten. Als je op zoek bent naar een feestje is dit je place to be!!!

Wanneer je buiten aan het eind van het terras zit, moet je soms meer dan 15 minuten wachten tot er iemand langs komt om je te helpen.

Heel.gezellig en lekker op het terras gezeten

Goed als je even voor een snel drankje gaat, maar verwacht geen snelle

Erg gezellig om te eten een en drank jezelf doen

Super miejsce i klimat. Pozdrowienia dla Salim obsługa pierwsza klasa 👍🖐️

Very busy on Saturday, nice drinks for normal price. I would recommend it if you just want to go with the flow. Tip order drinks on 1 floor, it's a bit less busy there. future i would recommend it if you can handle a crowd!

Goed,teras was goed verwarmd en werden snel en goed geholpen

Eten wordt ergens anders bereid. De smaak was goed. Alles smaakte vers. Eten was warm bij aankomst. Omdat het een bar is hebben ze geen keuken vandaar dat het elders wordt bereid. Schuin tegenover is een tent waar het bereid wordt. Buiten kan je lekker onder een heater zitten.

Nu veranderd door Corona... lekkere broodjes!

Heerlijk op het terras genieten van een koud colaatje. Ideaal.

Gezellig en leuk jong personeel

one if the best places to go to in almere

Beetje vaag van de ballonnen 🎈 Maar gelukkig was er veel bier 😎

Ondanks bewaking chillen hier altijd 15- en 16jarigen ipv men at work is het nu kid at school, best irritant als je het mij vraagt. Verder wel een hele gezellige plek. Redelijk dure drankjes, maar wel goed gevuld altijd! Kom hier graag met vrienden groepen voor een leuke en gezellige tijd. Medelijden met personeel die langzaam een gehoorbeschadiging oploopt maar dat zal er wel bij horen.

Greta place to drink and dance 👌🏼

Gezellige tent. Leuke bediening. Goede koffie

Goed om te zitten maar bediening is matig duurt erg lang

I think it is the best place for young adults till the age of 25. Most people visiting this place are between the age of 20 and 23. On Friday the place is often overcrowded. On Saturday you often pay a small amount to get in.

Leuk om in de zomer op het terras een drankje te doen of in de avond. Sommige avonden hebben ze happy hour waardoor je even iets goedkoper wat kan drinken. Naarmate het later wordt gaat de muziek steeds harder en kan je er wel leuk uitgaan. Helaas zijn er erg veel jonge mensen, lijken niet eens 18, en kan het er zeker op zaterdag avond / -nacht erg vol zijn.
